Mott, Alvarado Partner For Another Win As Grand Job Romps In Inside Information

[Wandering Eyes]

Jockey Junior Alvarado and trainer Bill Mott partnered up again for another win on Saturday's Pegasus World Cup card as GRAND JOB (f, 5, Justify–Sure Route {GB}, by Ishiguru) romped home as the favorite in the GII Inside Information Stakes.

Exiting a non-factor eighth in her 3-year-old finale facing allowance winners at Churchill Downs in November, Grand Job had previously shown an affinity for the Gulfstream surface when second in the GIII Royal Delta Stakes over the local main track last March.

Drawn outside, the 2-1 favorite had plenty of early speed up the backstretch, racing three wide with Jody's Pride (American Pharoah) and One Magic Philly (Good Magic) both to her inside on the run into the far turn. Alvarado clearly knew what he had as Grand Job swept past both runners and was alone turning for home before she even kicked into high gear. A few shakes of the reins kept her focused as she out-finished Sterling Silver (Cupid) under a hand ride for the win.

Mott and Alvarado teamed up three races earlier to win the GIII Fred W. Hooper Stakes with 'TDN Rising Star' Knightsbridge (Nyquist). Lifetime Record: 10-4-4-0.

O-Bell Tower Thoroughbreds and Medallion Racing; B-Fullbury; T-Bill Mott. Sales History: $105,000 ylg '22 KEESEP.
